I'm sorry to disappear again after I said I was going to try to be better about blogging. But I had a good reason. The Papa is on his way out of this earthly world. His leukemia has reared it's ugly head. Between work and going to the hospital, I'm spent.
Today I tended to domestic chores and my sadly neglected garden. Boy, you can't let that thing get out of control! This is what I harvested this morning:
My tomatoes are going nutso. I am growing four varieties. The small cherry tomatoes are called sweet 100's and they are like eating candy! The larger cherries didn't have a tag on them to tell me the variety but they are really good too. I picked two small hot peppers (ya baby, there is salsa in my future), a green pepper and a zucchini. We had the zucchini with ranch dip for dinner. The larger tomatoes made an appearance in my lunch.
There is absolutely nothing better than a BLT with tomatoes fresh from the garden. I can hardly wait till I can grow lettuce again. It is still fairly hot here so I'll probably wait a week or two to plant the lettuce and spinach seeds. I want to totally revamp the garden (the zucchini and tomato plants have totally taken over). My basil is going gangbusters too so I'll probably make some pesto tomorrow. Yummo!

YUM!!! We've had BLT's a couple of times the past few weeks. You just can't help it with gorgeous just picked tomatoes. I've also made pesto a few times this month. Doesn't it feel so good to bring in your own food from the garden??
